Ingredients

Every aromatic in this stick is food-origin — cacao husk, tonka bean, benzoin and cinnamon over a sandalwood base, bound with makko. Nothing from a fragrance lab.

Makko powder

Makko

⊕ Binder⊕ 40%

Bark of the tabu-no-ki tree, ground fine. Binds the blend and carries the ember evenly — with almost no scent of its own.

Cacao husk

Cacao Husk

⊕ Chocolate body⊕ 27%

The roasted shell of the cacao bean, defatted and ground — the dark-chocolate body of the stick, without the soot of cocoa fat.

Sandalwood

Sandalwood

⊕ Woody base⊕ 20%

A warm, quiet base note that anchors the blend and steadies the burn without raising its voice.

Benzoin

Benzoin

⊕ Sweet balsamic⊕ 7%

A warm balsamic resin that rounds the cacao with a soft, sweet depth. Used sparingly — resin slows the ember.

Tonka bean

Tonka Bean

⊕ Vanilla · almond⊕ 5%

Ground fresh from the whole bean — a vanilla-and-almond grain that reads as the sweetness inside chocolate.

Cinnamon

Cinnamon

⊕ Spice accent⊕ 2%

Ceylon cinnamon, a trace only — a quiet spice edge that lifts the roasted cacao without turning it hot.

Fifteen minutes actually means fifteen minutes
"Burns evenly to the base every time. I light one after lunch and sit until it ends — the measured burn makes the habit effortless."

★★★★☆
Quiet, not perfumy
"It smells like roasted cacao, not a candy bar. Dry, quiet, never perfumy. Wish the box came with more sticks."

The holder pairing is right
"No heavy smoke, no headache after. The ash line is clean and the scent fades instead of lingering."

FAQ

More questions?

How long does one stick burn?+
Fifteen minutes, measured. Each stick is 8 cm and burns at roughly 5.33 mm per minute — one stick is one sitting.
Is it dipped in fragrance oil?+
No. Every stick is hand-rolled from ground aromatic materials bound with makko. Nothing is coated or soaked.
How strong is the scent?+
Quiet by design. It scents the desk, not the building — and fades cleanly instead of lingering.
What do I need to burn it?+
Any incense holder with an ash surface. The ceramic holder is made for it, but a simple dish of ash or salt works.
